Kenneth Faried ill; Game-time decision tonight against Jazz

Forward Kenneth Faried missed this morning’s shootaround for the Nuggets. He is described as “ill” and may not play tonight against the Jazz. He is listed as a “game-time decision.”
At practice yesterday, Faried took part, but he looked a bit under the weather. At the end of practice, he sat down and kind of buried his head for a few seconds, looking, kind of, well, ill.

The Nuggets will try to get back to winning ways against a Jazz team that got a good road win last night in Phoenix, getting them back to .500 at 17-17. Obviously, losing Faried will make it a bit tougher, especially the loss of his defensive presence against Al Jefferson.

Chris Dempsey arrived at The Denver Post in Dec. 2003 after seven years at the Boulder Daily Camera, where he primarily covered the University of Colorado football and men's basketball teams. A University of Colorado-Boulder alumnus, Dempsey covers the Nuggets and also chips in on college sports.
